When two defective gene variants combine, normal protein function can sometimes be restored.

Scientists at Pacific Northwest Research Institute (PNRI) have overturned a long-held belief in genetics: that inheriting two ...

“We’ve shown that, in many cases, two damaging variants can work together to restore protein function,“ said Aimée Dudley, ...

Scientists at Pacific Northwest Research Institute (PNRI) report that pairs of genetic variants previously classified as ...

Scientists found that more than 60% of damaging variant pairs in a metabolic enzyme restored normal activity. The study shows ...

Most clinicians still underestimate the degree to which genetic factors shape personality traits and personality development. This is not controversial within behavioral genetics, but it remains ...

I hate to break this to you, but every child is a genetic experiment – and nature doesn’t care if things go wrong. Our genomes are awful messes created by conflicting evolutionary forces, and every ...

“Ultimately, we'll help the people we discriminate against if we try to understand more about them; genetics will lead to a world where there is a sympathy for the underdog.”—James D. Watson A recent ...

When gene therapy was first proposed in the 1970s, the idea seemed straightforward but revolutionary: replacing defective genes with functional ones to cure a disease. But over the decades, this ...
